Heaven and Hotel Hopping

First of all, sorry those pictures didn't want to be seen on here, I guess they're just a little camera shy (buh dum ch). Also, I know you were left on a cliff hanger last time, so to ease your troubled minds, the AC was fixed! We can finally feel the difference between inside and outside temperatures. Hallelujah! 

So last night (which feels like it was last week at least), it was raining, so we went to Disney Springs, which is the new name for downtown Disney. It's huge and we definitely didn't see all of it. There are a bunch of super cool stores and food shops. There was a Cupcake place that had a cupcake atm in front of it. This means that you order a cupcake from a machine and it comes out of this magical door. The cupcakes were delicious. Like, extremely good. 

After Disney Springs, we went to one of the Disney resorts called key west or something like that. It was really pretty. There was a boat that took us there from Disney springs which was fun to take. I really liked looking around it. Afterward, we went back on the boat and then to the apartment (on a bus not boat sadly). 

This morning Dannah, Chloe, and I went to Walmart (in Dannah's car!) to get some things. After that we went back to the apartment and had lunch. Then when everyone got back from their classes, we went with two new friends to look at more resorts. We saw the Grand Floridian (which was so pretty), the Polynesian (which I think would be our family's favorite of the ones I've seen so far), and walked around the Boardwalk. There are those cute bike cart things that I think we'll come back and try sometime. There was a person playing piano in the Grand Floridian, and he played Clair de Lune while I was there! It made me super happy. Speaking of happiness, at the Polynesian I got...

A DOLEWHIP!!!

Which isn't the only reason it's my favorite. It was just really nice and had Hawaiian music playing and the atmosphere was just the best. It's actually the only one I took a picture of, the other pictures are from my roomies.

These are from the Grand Floridian. Ain't it pretty?

And this is a view from the beach of the Poly

There's a water light show that you can only see from some of the resorts, not even from the park, so we stayed at the Polynesian to watch it. It was really cute. After that was done, we decided to go back to the apartment. So, we went in front of the Polynesian to wait for the bus, but then we went sure where we were supposed to wait for it, so we walked around and asked a bunch of workers and security guards. After a while of that, the security guards figured it out and took us back to where we had been waiting before. Luckily this all happened before the bus came. Once we got back, we had late dinner and went to bed.

It was such a fun day! The Dolewhips have already begun and I haven't even entered the park!

Peace out homies

  

Adventures and Air Conditioners

Well hello everyone and welcome to my blog. Before I begin, I should warn that this blog might end up being like Mr. Ratburn's:

And you know that's the truth.

So I did arrive in Florida, my Fitbit said that I slept 2 hours and 25 minutes with 12 minutes of restlessness on the flight. I think that I slept more, but it must have been too little to count. Then when I got to the airport I awkwardly laid down in a semi-uncomfortable chair with my legs over my bags and my ukulele on top of me. I'm sure I was quite a sight. Especially since I would fall asleep and then jolt awake and look around for terrorists or something, I don't know. So I decided that I wanted to be out of the airport, so I got my huge bags and started to go find the taxi. We all know how weak I am, and I had to stop a couple of times on the way down. But to be fair, it was my biggest bag that the airport had to mark heavy with my green bag on top of it. I got a taxi and took it to the hotel. I had the hotel check in my bags and asked where I could walk to get food.

I ended up walking forever to get to McDonalds and had some food. Then I walked back to the hotel and was able to check in early! I was so happy! The room was really nice and I stayed in there the entire night. I took a little nap that was very needed and then watched a chick flick on TV. I ordered room service and got some very adult food

As you can see. It was delicious and looking at the picture just makes me want to eat more of it. After I ate I needed to sleep more so I went to bed. I forgot to mention that total rager of a party I had with everyone in the hotel. It was quite the party. (Chris-there was a poke stop outside my room and you can bet I used it all the time. Also, you would love playing it down here because there are so many Magicarp you wouldn't believe.)

Anyway, Monday morning I got ready and then had Mickey Mouse waffles for breakfast. I was getting so dang excited. I got an Uber driver and headed over to the check in. The place I'm staying in is so pretty. When you drive in, the street is lined with trees and the different buildings are different colors. It's pretty cute. I got my ID and my room number and headed over to my apartment. I was really happy that my building was so close to check-in because I didn't have to carry my bags so far. Then when I arrived at my building, I found out that I was on the third floor... So I shoved my big bag under the stairs and hauled the rest of my stuff up. When I got to my door, I couldn't get the door unlocked, but Hailee was here to save the day. She then came down with me and helped me carry my beast of a suitcase up those stairs. Hailee was the only one home, so we visited until I had to go to Casting.

The bus stop is happily close to our apartment. I walked over there, and while trying to figure out where to go I made a friend who was also trying to figure out where to go. We rode together on the bus and were able to stand together in line at the casting building. The casting building is amazing. Look how cool it is. And it has the Alice in Wonderland door handles. It also had a couple statues in this round room that we waited in line in. It was great. When we got in the building, we stood in a line for a different room while they gave us our areas. They didn't give the exact rides or locations yet, just the general ones, so mine said Adventureland and Liberty square. After that, we went and finished up our I-9 paperwork, got our traditions schedule, and got fingerprinted (it was just a scanner, I didn't have dirty fingers all day). Then I went and got on the bus to take me home. When I got back, I met the rest of my roommates. I LOVE them. They are all so great and we all get along really well.

I had another thing to go to around 6, so I worked on unpacking until then. Then I went and did the drug test and came back to the apartment. We ordered pizza to be dilevered and unpacked some more. When the pizza got here, we ate, did some get to know you questions, and the had a little FHE. After that, Holli, Hailee, Annie, and I went to Walmart and got a couple things. We didn't make a huge trip because Dannah's car gets here tomorrow so we won't have to carry everything on the bus. Annie got ice cream at the store, so when we got back, we all ate ice cream then went to bed. It was a really fun night.

Our air conditioning does not work, so we got a fan for each room at Walmart. It was pretty hot, but I was able to get to sleep. It was cooler in the morning which was nice. We thought it was just the batteries, but we changed those today and it's still stinkin hot.

This morning I got up and worked on this masterpiece of a blog post before I had to go to the housing meeting. Holli and Dannah came with me to mine so they wouldn't have to worry about missing there's tomorrow (kinda long story). It was a lot of fun with them. Right now it's raining hard, and we're sitting in our living room with our two fans and back door open trying to get cool (Just kidding, we all know we're already cool). After Chloe gets back from her meeting that started at 3 we're going to go on an adventure and pray that our AC gets fixed tonight.

My adventure has been so much fun so far! I'm so happy I'm here and can't wait to be able to get in the park!

Until next time then friends!
PS-Sorry the pictures are all weird sizes, I hope you can see all of them.
